GOODWILL INDUSTRIES AWARD
The Goodwill Industries of America has
awarded the Boy Scouts of America its Golden
Anniversary Service Award in recognition of co-
operation in placing and collecting Goodwill
bags. These bags are the means of collecting ma-
terials used in the Goodwill Industries program
of employment, training and rehabilitation of
handicapped persons. Scouting is happy to have
a part in this worthwhile service.
ATTENTION UNIT COMMITTEEMEN!
YOU have what HE needs! If your Pack,
Troop or Explorer Unit has changed leaders re-
cently, are you sure the new men have current
program material in their hands? It takes time
to get SCOUTING Magazine coming to a new
leader, and when he gets his first copy it will
contain program material for the following
month. Meanwhile YOU have in your hands the
material HE needs NOW. Help him get off to a
flying start by sharing your SCOUTING with
him until his copies start.
TRIBUTE TO DAN BEARD
June 21, 1952, anniversary of the birth of Uncle
Dan Beard, 102 years ago, was the occasion for
ceremonies and a pageant in Dan Beard Square,
Flushing, Long Island, birthplace of this famous
Scouter, honoring his memory.
A memorial designed by the noted sculptor,
Frederick Allen Williams, with a bust made from
life, is to be erected in the Square.
Plans call for a similar celebration on June 20,
1953, when many Scouters will again assemble
at Flushing to do honor to the man of whom
Thomas E. Dewey has written, "He was one of
the finest exponents of the American principles'
of fair play, sportsmanship and healthy activi-
ties."
Dan Beard served as National Scout Commis-
sioner from 1910 to 1941 and made a most im-
portant contribution to the development of the
program throughout America. He shall always

be remembered for his love of boys and the fact
that for most of his life he worked in the interests
of their development, physically, mentally, and
morally, and to help them to become the kind of
citizens he personally exemplified.
OUR FAITH RE-EMPHASIZED
Our continuing emphasis on the importance of
religious faith is reflected in the following reso-
lution, adopted by our National Council May 25.
"WHEREAS, our democratic form of govern-
ment is founded on a belief in the Supreme Being
as expressed in the Declaration of Independence,
which states that all men are endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable rights.
AND WHEREAS, an objective for the boy in
the forward on Liberty's Team Program is "For-
ward in the Faith of his Fathers."
BE IT RESOLVED THAT the National Coun-
cil urges a re-emphasis in all Scouting Units upon
the importance of religion in the life of the boy,
and upon his duty to God,
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that in
the spirit of the Twelfth Scout Law, the Ameri-
can ideal of freedom as outlined in the Bill of
Rights, be emphasized in Scout training, teach-
ing youth to foster brotherhood and to promote
respect for the convictions of others in matters
of custom and religion."
